Otzma Yehudit places English-speaking public figure Yishai Fleisher at twelfth spot on Knesset list
"You are a man of action, a man of advocacy, and an important voice for Israel around the world. I'm proud that you're joining our Otzma Yehudit list," said Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Otzma Yehudit, a right-wing Israeli political party, has placed English-speaking public figure Yishai Fleisher at the twelfth spot on their Knesset list. Fleisher, a prominent spokesman for Israel's Jewish community in Hebron, was born in Israel to parents who had fled the Soviet Union. However, he spent nearly half of his life in the United States, where he was raised.
Fleisher is fluent in Russian, Hebrew, and English, having served as a paratrooper in the Israeli Defense Forces and graduating from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York. As the international spokesman for Hebron, Fleisher has garnered a significant following, with his YouTube channel boasting over 300,000 subscribers.
Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir expressed his excitement about Fleisher's inclusion on their list, praising him as a man of action and an important voice for Israel globally. Fleisher welcomed the opportunity to work alongside the Otzma Yehudit team, emphasizing their shared goals of strengthening the state, fostering connections between Jews and the land of Israel, and promoting Israel to Jews and Israel enthusiasts worldwide.
